Yesterday, the Puerto Rico Quarter was released. This marked the second release of the 2009 DC & US Territories Quarter Program. This program is a follow up to the popular 50 State Quarters Program.
To be honest, I think this is the first time a piece of currency is dedicated towards the Latino culture. Am I right or wrong? Anyways, this is very exciting...hopefully my mom gets this coin because she started has the entire set.
